With this image my goal was to convey the few things that helped me in the height of the pandemic during quarantine. The most important item for me would be the Sparrow staff sweatshirt, because it symbolizes my job which was my only outside interaction away from my house(working as an essential worker).Another important item would be the dog collar representing my dog Nemo that gave me most of my love and affection during this time. I think it would be helpful to note that my Jordan shoes and Kate Spade purse represented my shopping therapy over the quarantine. My image shows the limitations given to me over quarantine and the small amount of objects(literally and figuratively) that kept me moving forward.
Artist Statement
This group of items have kept my mood up and kept me healthy and safe recently. The masks are really important to me because it is part of my everyday wear, so I have been able to keep excited and happy while wearing some that are colorful and stylish. The soulcycle bag represents staying fit and working out which I struggled to motivate myself to do over quarantine, but now that it has reopened I have gotten back into a rhythm. I think it's important to note that the charging cable is a substitute for my phone, as it has allowed me to call and video chat friends and family from a distance. This image sums up most of what keeps me active and lively in the outside world.
